Bar-B-Q Summer 2019

The Annual Guildford Circle Bar-B-Q was held at the residence of Hazel Foulkes on Sunday 14th July. We were blessed with good weather not only for the event itself but for the setting up on the Saturday. As usual, this task was performed by volunteer brothers who toiled away to erect the various tents and put in position tables and chairs not to mention the two heavy gas Bar-B-Qs. Well done to the brothers! 

The Bare Bones!
Getting there!
Looking Good!
It has passed inspection by the Foreman...
... and next door's horse!
The big day arrived and the bar was open. The burgers and sausages were on the grill and the Band, 'Peter Paul & Mary's Brother' were ready to play! Guildford was delighted to welcome two Clergy, Monsignore Tony Barry and Fr Irek Stadler who, with glass of wine in hand, said Grace before the feast began!
